"the role of civil society in supporting the peace process in Israel and
Palestine"
Then, this meeting should take place in Israel or Palestine.
..Co-facilitation by someone from there

Subject: ? on chosing a facilitator - Isr - Pal Open Space
Hi all,
My colleagues and I here at the Center for International Conflict Resolution
at Columbia have been asked to hold an Open Space on a question related to
the role of civil society in supporting the peace process in Israel and
Palestine. We are struggling a bit to get clarity on who of our team makes
the most sense to facilitate. We have several great folks - the question is
really about the role of the "identity" of the OS facilitator in an OS that
may generate lots of heat around questions of identity, including Israeli,
Jewish, Arab, Palestinian, American and others. We imagine the group will
include a mix of interested people from US-based civil society groups
working on or around advocacy and/or peace issues related to Israel and
Palestine.
Here are the options we have on the table (round table of course!):
- one Jewish American facilitator (me, full disclosure)
-a partnering of the above with a Palestinian American facilitator - a co
facilitation
-a European American facilitator with no explicit ties to any of the
identity issues at play in this conflict
Any thoughts, opinions, experiences, etc that you have on the question of
the identity of the facilitator in OS are more than welcome. I look forward
to your input as we quickly (it's Friday) move towards opening space on this
critical question.
Be well, Zachary Metz
